Question

2 over 5 x= 10 solve for x show your work

Answer 1

25

Explanation:

2 over 5 x= 10 can be written in mathematical terms as:

`(2)/(5) x = 10`

To solve this equation, take the denominator of the fraction on the left side of the equal sign to the right side of the equal sign and multiply it with the constant i.e. 10 in this case

`(2)/(5) x = 10`

`2x = 10 x 5`

`2x = 50`

Now to solve for x, divide the constant by the coefficient of x to get:

`x = (50)/(2)`

`x = 25`

Answer 2

`(2)/(5)x= 10`

We need to solve for x

To get x alone we need to remove the denominator 5

To remove denominator 5 we multiply by 5 on both sides

`5*(2)/(5)x= 10*5`

2x = 50

2x means 2 times x

2 is multiplied with x. so to remove 2 we divide by 2

`(2x)/(2)= (50)/(2)`

So x= 25
